Ambari 2.1.0 on HDP 2.3 problem deploying HDFS

I'm installing HDP 2.3 on a new cluster, and taking it slow.  I'm using Ambari to deploy, and so far have only installed Zookeeper and Ambari-metrics.

When I go to install HDFS, I get to service customization, and it won't let me set a NameNode directory.  I've attached a screenshot.  When I hover the mouse over the 'NameNode directories' alert, the mouseover text says "Can't start with home(s)".  At this point there is no way to proceed with the installation.

Help!

Ian


Re: Ambari 2.1.0 on HDP 2.3 problem deploying HDFS

Posted by Ian Soboroff <ia...@nist.gov>.
That's cute, its the df(1) of all my mounts on all my nodes.  On the machine I'm trying to set as the namenode, there are 17 mounts, some local, some NFS, and yes, some of those NFS mountpoints are /home/foo.

There are also lots of filesystems, local ones even, empty ones waiting for grate gob's o HDFS metadata, that don't start with /home.

Can I override its recommendation somehow?  Or is this the point where we just go get the tarballs and do stuff by hand?

(Just as an aside, I don't really care about using Ambari to deploy the cluster.  I want the monitoring tools.  But unfortunately it doesn't seem that Ambari can monitor a cluster that it didn't deploy.)

It seems like this is happening because the default directory recommendations given contains /home as a mount point.
What is the output of:

GET /api/v1/clusters/<cluster-name>/hosts?fields=Hosts/disk_info/*

Hi Ian,

I was able to reproduce issue by jumping between other service configs *after* setting the value to "/home/foo".

I have opened https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMBARI-12612? to fix this issue.


The workaround is to either hit Back followed by Next. OR just refresh the page to get back the original config value.

This is Ambari 2.1.0, as distributed by HDP.

# /usr/sbin/ambari-server --hash
d6cb8d46a4828e33910df6f58c33432fa1d4ed89

I see a couple JS exceptions but they are about keys in storm-site.xml, so I'm not sure they are related.  I've attached the console dump I get after reloading the settings page.

This is what is at that API link:

Re: Ambari 2.1.0 on HDP 2.3 problem deploying HDFS

Hi Ian,

Did you set the value of any of the 'NameNode directories' to begin with /home or /homes?

We show that error when it does - https://github.com/apache/ambari/blob/trunk/ambari-web/app/utils/validator.js#L96 (screenshot attached)


What is strange in your case is that it does not show the text area so that you correct it.

Can you detail the exact actions that resulted in this outcome?

Alternatively, do you see any Javascript errors in the Javascript console, and have you tried it in other browsers?

Regards,

Srimanth

Subject: Ambari 2.1.0 on HDP 2.3 problem deploying HDFS

I'm installing HDP 2.3 on a new cluster, and taking it slow.  I'm using Ambari to deploy, and so far have only installed Zookeeper and Ambari-metrics.

When I go to install HDFS, I get to service customization, and it won't let me set a NameNode directory.  I've attached a screenshot.  When I hover the mouse over the 'NameNode directories' alert, the mouseover text says "Can't start with home(s)".  At this point there is no way to proceed with the installation.

Help!

Ian
